It Depends On What the Meaning of “Repeal and Start Over” Is

“When we say start over, we don’t mean throw everything out – throw out the baby with the bath water. We mean, take the best of this bill and combine it with our ideas like buying insurance across state lines and equalizing the tax treatment and creating high-risk pools. “Of course, all of the language regarding electronic medical records I’m in favor of. So I might not fully agree with completely repealing and starting over.”

Newt Gingrich and Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue are expected to challenge the constitutionality of the law at a joint press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. And it looks like I won’t be alone in backing Regina Thomas in her July 20 primary challenge against Blue Dog John Barrow. Barrow voted no on the health care bill.

The Obama-Pelosi-Reid machine has combined the radicalism of Saul Alinsky, the corruption of Springfield, Ill., and the machine power politics of Chicago. What we saw Sunday night was a pressured, bought, intimidated vote worthy of Hugo Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but unworthy of the United States of America.Democratic Congressman, Alcee Hastings, articulated the principles of this machine mentality perfectly when he said, “There ain't no rules here, we're trying to accomplish something. . . .All this talk about rules. . . .When the deal goes down . . . we make 'em up as we go along.” And he’s one of the more honest democrats in Congress who while serving as a federal judge, was impeached and removed from the bench before being elected to the House.

The American people will not allow a corrupt machine to dictate their future and the ballot box is not our only option.

Unite Against Tyranny

Develop websites to expose leftist organizations, leftist celebrities, companies that support the leftist agenda and all left wing publications. A good place to start is here, http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualPr… If this blog does not produce a live link, visit my blog.

Let advertisers know that “We the People,” who are the real consumers, will no longer buy products advertised on political leftist propaganda broadcast media, magazines and newspapers. Display a list of all leftwing publications on blogs.

Businesses with waiting rooms stop displaying leftist publications like the New York Times and Time magazine. Display a list of all leftwing publications on blogs.

As soon as the left sends in groups like ACORN to stage protests in front of businesses they like to control with intimidation, “We the People,” need to come out in droves in support of those businesses.

Stop believing what the leftist media like MSNBC, NBC, CNN, ABC and CBS are telling you no mater how convincing they try to sound. They have had many years of experience in pulling wool over people’s eyes. Display a list of leftwing media outlets on blogs.

Stop watching all leftwing shows and state sponsored news propaganda media outlets that use journalism as a disguise. Also let the advertisers know that we the real consumers will no longer buy products advertised there.Expose all leftwing shows and news propaganda media outlets on blogs.

Boycott all movies done by leftist actors and producers.Expose all leftwing celebrities on blogs.

Since the leftist media ignores the needs of “We the People”, stage peaceful protest in front of their doors exhibiting signs such as “In God We Trust” and “Don’t Tread on Me.

Find out which teaching institutions have Marxist professors, expose them and mount peaceful protests in front of their campuses.

Stop buying and start selling stock of companies that support the leftist agenda. Expose those companies on blogs.

Explain to your kids what is taking place and how this might affect their future.

Add your own ideas to my proposal and pass it on as you wish. A modern version of email chain letter and clever YouTube skits are also options. This is not about race or social status. In God’s eyes we are all created equal and if we don’t come together to oppose the tyranny that is threatening our freedoms, the opportunities that every American once enjoyed will be lost not only for future generations, but for you personally. Legal immigrants included. If you think your piece of the pie is too small now, soon there will be no pie left.

So I might not fully agree with completely repealing and starting over.

I think you will see more of this from the GOP as the odds of repeal are slim to none. The toothpaste is out of the tube and you can't put it back in. The public will gradually become more accepting of the plan.

It's funny that electronic medical records are a point of agreement since there is no evidence they reduce costs, improve efficiency or reduce errors in small or medium offices, or even in many hospitals.

Step out of your bubble and go talk to real people who don't 100% share your views. Most of the democrats you hate so much have no idea who Alinsky even is. Frankly, most of us weren't even born yet. The only time I EVER hear his name and his rules for whatever brought up is by rightwing conspiracy theorists like yourself (usually in the context of some radical action they are advocating). It is a cute trick, accusing the opposition of doing what you are doing, in order to justify your behavior.

There is evidence from the VA system that they reduce redundant testing. Testing, and physician profits from them, is one of the drivers of increased medical costs.

The VA system is hardly a proxy for private physicians offices.

1. Repeal? The incrementalist ratchet has been moved. Is repeal truly serious? I doubt it, and if it were so, just wait until those who come to rely on any new entitlement see that as threatened. I don't believe there's a need to worry about repeal.

2. The VA system isn't the model for today's medicine, or is it? While for our future it is a possible model for us in order to improve cost control over the Medicare model, which is what I believe we'd move to first in this country, VA has its supporters. It's not the old VA that was never referred to without also saying “horror story,” if you believe its defenders or supporters now. (Dorian de Wind, are you out there?)

Perhaps, in addition to people with real-world experience in Europe, this neglected subject needs visiting.

Do you have any clue what you are talking about? Have you ever used electronic medical records in any meaningful way, shape or form?

Because as someone who uses them constantly, I can tell you they save tremendous amounts of money in reducing the number of duplicate tests, reducing paperwork, reducing drug errors (HUGE), clerical hours, increasing efficiency of care, etc, etc.

Yes, I have used Cerner PowerChart for several years. I also downloaded and tested the VA VistA system which I found unimpressive. I have also tested several office-based systems.

If the Repugs were really serious about HCR, why didn't they pass it along with Medicare Plan D? Maybe pandering to seniors voters and their teabagger base is what they're all about.
